Post some:

Real: Take me on board their beautiful ship
Misheard: Take me on board. Had a beautiful shit.
Subterranean Homesick Alien - Radiohead

And a more well known one:
Real: In the distance I hear them devouring pest-ridden jackals of the earth
Misheard: In the distance I hear them devouring best made tacos of the earth
The Baying of the Hounds - Opeth

Real: No man yields who flies in my ship
Misheard: No man yields his flies in my shed
Karn Evil 9 - Emerson Lake and Palmer

House of Cards by Radiohead

Real: Throw your keys in the bowl, kiss your husband goodnight.
Misheard: Throw your keys in the bowl, 'cause your heart has been denied.

I actually like my misheard lyric, I rationalized that the person he is singing to is willing to settle for any random stranger who comes into focus because they are heartbroken that the person they are truly in love with (or something close to it) has rejected them.

Thats just my dollars and cents on this particular misheard lyric.

These are a few examples that has been bugging me ever since I saw a video of misheard Opeth-lyrics:

Deliverance:
Real: "Floating on mist"
Misheard: "Choking on dicks"

The Drapery Falls
Real: "Deadly patterns made my wreath"
Misheard: "Deadly badgers laid my wreath"

Godhead's Lament:
Real: "What would they care if I would stay, no-one would know, no no"
Misheard: "What would they care if I was gay, no-one would know, ho-mo"

A Fair Judgment:
Real: "Leave it be, it was meant for me"
Misheard: "Leave the pee, it was meant for me"

These are just a few I can think of.

Yep. I can remember singing these wrong words LOUDLY in the car with my Mom driving. I was in the 4th grade and had no idea what douche was. Funny. She never said a word.

I still chuckle at how the line, "Take care, beware, of thoughts that linger," sounds like, "Take care, beware, of farts that linger," in Spock's Beard's cover of George Harrison's Beware of Darkness.

LOL. I guess that proves it; refusing to cut the grass grants you the power of immortality.

I'm sure Coheed's chock full of them.

Off the top of my head...

"Does the iron negro hungry?"
instead of...
"Does the irony grow hungry?"

Not that Coheed's lyrics make any sense anyway.
